Joyful Music and Laughter Do Mix

As most readers know I am not a religious person, but do enjoy the lovely holiday music that has come about for Christmas.  Here is a tongue in cheek version of monks singing The Hallelujah Chorus---one of my favorites!


Hallelujah

  1. I definitely would not call myself a "religious" person but I am a person of Faith and am as inspired by these high school kids performance as I am by the photographs in your previous post. Both speak to me as proof of a higher power.

  3. I got that one in an email - it's very good!

  5. Tabor, the things you can't find on YouTube.

    That was amazing. And funny, and still managed to be inspirational!

  6. RYN: Yes, tho links in my brain are scrambled from my stroke, I cried despite the scrambling. It's the quality of writing in that she makes these sisters real. Marmee was a faded person, but the father was real. Beth was too real, modeled on a real sister who died. Perhaps we do not feel such a link to Professor Bhaer because he was not modeled on someone she cared for.....Just a thought.

    Have you tried Klesmer music? :)

    Seriously, I'm sure it was a challenge to learn and fun at the same time.

  9. Well, I might just have to steal this. I went on and watched a bunch of other similar Youtube videos--but this was the best!

  12. no religion going here either but I absolutely adore sacred music, from the earliest Gregorian chants and Hildegarde of Bingen to operatic or classical 'religious' music.

    Still trying to download the music in your post.

  13. stupid me, I was clicking in the wrong place.
    Very funny. Are they Trappists?

    Having said what I said in the earlier post, the Hallelujah Chorus is not one of my favourites.

  14. This must be the most popular video on the Internet. I have received it three times, sent it out to others, and it is on 3 blogs. I love it.
